New Engineering Lab

Our new 9,221 square foot Engineering Laboratory officially opened on February 2, 2015 to accommodate all of our many projects, which serve others around the world. Take a tour of both the new Visual Art areas and our Engineering Lab in the Frey academic building at the following link. Frey expansion tour.

Department of Engineering at Messiah College

Messiah is one of
only a handful of Christian colleges in the country with an accredited
engineering program, but even among Christian colleges we feel that our
approach is unique.

Here are some reasons why:

Christian Values

Messiah
has been named several times to the Templeton Foundation’s Honor Roll
for Character Building Colleges. Service to others is a hallmark of
Messiah’s Christian tradition. We therefore require our students to not
only be technically competent, but also to apply their knowledge to
service projects in real, tangible ways – in both the engineering
curriculum and through student-led projects. Our students have been to
Africa to install solar power generation systems for development work.
They have created a simulated landmine field to help train personnel for
humanitarian de-mining. They have developed a low-cost filter system
for eliminating arsenic from drinking water. And they have done much
more. At Messiah, “Christ Preeminent” is more than just our motto – it’s
the way we live.

Real Engineering

A thorough grounding
in engineering fundamentals prepares Messiah graduates for lifelong
learning. But at Messiah we don't stop at book knowledge. In long-term
curricular projects, many sponsored by service and development
organizations, students apply theory to real world engineering problems.

Modern Facilities

Frey
Hall is a modern 65,000 square foot facility with well-equipped
laboratories. A professionally staffed machine shop, state of the art
computer laboratories, and industry-standard engineering software all
help Messiah engineers to excel in and out of the classroom.

Personal Attention

Caring
Christian professors encourage each Messiah student to reach his or her
potential. Our students enjoy small classes and plenty of one-on-one
support from a faculty with both teaching and industry experience. Most
significantly, our professors work alongside students in projects with
worldwide impact and prepare students for lives of leadership and
servanthood.
